Something that's been really helpful to me recently has been this:


Instead of sorting my to-dos by "most desperately needs done", I'm listing it by "type of energy needed". Which, for me, is high/medium/low social vs. creative, and in the medium area, there's also "managerial", which is that thing where you sort things and it feels nice (aka modding). It's helped me in a few ways:
- "oh, I see, the problem right now is that I have a lot of high creative and medium managerial stuff lined up, so I need to clear out a block of time to get those done so that I have more medium creative and low-grade chilling stuff to do instead."
- "I'm feeling pretty tired right now, let's see what thing I should actually be doing, instead of attempting to do something that requires more energy and then procrastinating"
- "Oh yeah, text chat is hard and takes a lot out of me, so if I'm doing that, I might as well do this other thing instead"
